Hey guys,

I was wondering where I could get new metal badges from. The one on the bonnet's looking a bit tainted from oxidisation (lots of little speckles etc)...and I believe the 'GT' badges on the front guards are meant to be white/red? At the moment mine are just metal in colour - not sure whether they were faded from the sun or what.

I noticed there seems to be 2 stock front bars for R32 gts-t's and gts-4's...ones slightly bigger with a bottom lip (as attached)...where can I get one of these?

Last question, if I were to get a GTR front bar, would it be considerably lower than the rest of the car if I left the stock side-skirts on etc?

You should be able to get the badges from a wrecker, but it could cost quite a lot. The badges on my gaurds are all silver. I think on the 33's, the ones with blue had turbo and red non turbo or something like that. I don't think that applies to 32's.

The GTR bar would/should be lower than the rest of the car if everything else is standard.

Adam - my 32 is a gts-4 also...are they meant to be silver?

I'm not sure what they're supposed to be, but mine are silver. I don't think they faded either. Some people have there badges in GOLD!!

Where's this r32 thread? I've been looking but can't find it.

Ok, aside from the badges etc...would I need to go to a wrecker to get one of these front bars with the bottom lip? ^pic in first post.^

Okay cool...I'm happy then, mine hasn't faded or anything as silver badges seem to exist haha.

So the front bar I want is an M-Spec/M-type front bar? I guess I'll have to get one from a wreckers then.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
